Sad news about a great friend & colleague from Daily Express days, Steve Nolan, who passed away yesterday. For 30 years Steve edited the sports pages at the Express group of newspapers. He was encouraging, discerning, quietly authoritative & most of all a really good guy.

Almost always with a smile on his face. He loved his golf, his travels and Manchester City. And his family, who were with him at his bedside when he passed, following a brief illness. He’ll be missed by many of us. RIP Steve 🙏

100,000-word manuscript of ‘Big Dunc’ finally completed tonight. Duncan Ferguson promised to be “brutally honest”. He has been. And a joy to work with. Open and funny, full of insight and anecdotes. 13 publishers in for the book. Out @centurybooksuk May. linktr.ee/bigduncbook

Always great company, always a kind, engaging, witty & thought-provoking colleague, @JohnDillonSport was a superb reporter and has left us far too soon. Fond memories especially of trips to #Vegas, #NYC & #Hawaii. Condolences to Andy & family & friends. A really sad loss. RIP JD.

The voice. The passion. The magic. The joy. The abundant joy! Days of summer & All-Ireland finals & the radio 📻 & unique commentary that fuelled our youth, our dreams, our passion for games when all was fresh & green. Micheál #ÓMuircheartaigh died today. A man & voice nonpareil.

So sad to hear this today. No one could paint a picture like this man. Wherever you were in the world, he brought you to the edge of the pitch and the edge of your seat. A giant and a gent. Rest in peace.

“I saw a few Sligo people at Mass in Gardiner Street this morning & the omens seem to be good. The priest was wearing the same colours as the Sligo jersey! 40 yards out on the Hogan Stand side of the field, Ciarán Whelan goes on a rampage … it's a goal! So much for religion!”

It is with genuine sadness that I announce today was my last day at my beloved Boxing News. Thank you so much to all who supported me along the way. It was the ultimate privilege to represent such a wondrous publication. I wish all who remain at BN every success for the future.
